Program Overview

Overview

The Bachelor of Mathematics will teach you highly transferable skills in problem-solving, data analysis, probability and variability, modelling, logistics and logic. Throughout the degree, you will tackle authentic real-world problems drawn from industry, science and government which will prepare you for roles where quantitative skills and careful reasoning are essential.
The degree is flexible, allowing you to take subjects from other study areas that interest you. You can choose to major in Mathematics for a rigorous blend of pure and applied mathematics, or Statistics and Data Science to focus on extracting insight and meaning from data.

Statistics and Data Science (major)

The Statistics and Data Science major focuses on analysing data to make sound, evidence-based decisions. You will develop expertise in probability, statistical inference, regression and time-series modelling, experimental design and sampling, and fundamentals of machine learning. You will learn to wrangle, visualise and communicate data, build reproducible analyses, and consider ethics and uncertainty so conclusions are trustworthy and actionable.
